Juvederm Ultra 4 for cheeks? My concern is Ultra 4 is not FDA approved. Advice?

lariskaJan 23, 2018
I’m 33 and have used Juvederm ultra before (nasolabia and mouth area). My doc suggested injecting derma filler into my cheeks (half a syringe in each). Reading online it seems like the right thing for me however I assumed she would Use Voluma. She informed me that she will be using ultra 4 as I’m younger. concern is ultra 4 is not FDA approved. I know that products are used off benchmark but can give their opinion if this is normal? Thanks
